I even surprised myself when I got to the end of a book that was over 300 pages... it's been a while! Lately the only books I've finished are the kinds with LOTS of pictures. Now don't get me wrong, I love picture books and easy readers and I'm happy to count them in my number of books for the year but I was starting think that my nearly 37 year old attention span couldn't handle a book with more than one sentence on each page.
So what was the trick... reading something light, something where I already know and love the characters and pretty much know how things are going to turn out. The trick was the 21st installment of my favorite comfort series with my old friends Stephanie, Ranger, Morelli, and of course Grandma. You will notice Ranger gets first mention there... I'm Team Ranger in my reading life, though I'd probably be team Morelli in real life.
In any case, I enjoyed this book like an evening out with old friends. I always look forward to the new installment of this series to be part of my summer reading even though lots of fans complain that the story is getting old and Stephanie never picks between the two men in her life. Somehow I'm OK with that.
Special perk of this book: Grandma has a bucket lists. I love crazy Grandma and I love bucket lists :-) and hers has some pretty spectacular things on it... a few she manages to accomplish! Way to go Grandma!
Now -- What to read next?
